Kent A. Breau

UNITY – Kent A. Breau, 64, a man who roamed the woods with a steadfast smile and a heart full of adventure, passed away on March 11, 2024, at Maine General Glenridge after bravely battling Alzheimer’s for a decade accompanied by dementia during his final years. Born in Farmington, Maine, on Sept. 29, 1959, Kent’s life was a tapestry woven with threads of hunting excursions and backwoods escapades beneath the open sky.

Kent will be fondly remembered for his passion for the great outdoors. Whether it was guiding hunting expeditions for bear, deer, moose, turkey, or another fishing adventure, Kent’s love for nature shone through in everything he did. He was often seen in his signature flannel shirt or quirky printed t-shirts paired with blue jeans and boots that had seen their fair share of dirt, always sporting a mischievous smile that captured his fun-loving personality.

A graduate of Mt. View High School class of 1978.

Kent’s proudest achievement was becoming a Registered Maine Guide, and bagging Maine’s biggest atypical buck in 1995, a feat that solidified his reputation as a skilled hunter. He took immense pride in watching his daughter M., evolve into an amazing young woman.

Kent is survived by his father Patrick Breau of Unity, Maine; daughter M. Breau of Oregon; brothers Kevin (Jessica) of St. Albans and Kyle of Unity; sisters Karen (Jim Fotter) of Gray and Kerri (Ed Oliver) of Sidney; many nieces and nephews; along with close friends Todd Goodblood, Sam Huff, and Pete Fotter; as well as numerous other cherished cousins and friends who brought brightness to Kent’s life.

Kent is preceded in death by his beloved mother Shirley Breau and former wife Cathy Cook, best friends Luke Goodblood, Steve Gentile; and Ronnie Reynolds.

A Graveside Service will be held on Saturday August 3, 2024 at 11 a.m. at Unity Pond Cemetery across from Depot Street, at 12 p.m. at Unity Barn Raisers, 32 School St. Please join us to recount tales of camaraderie, humorous anecdotes, and fond memories made with Kent and family.
